No do not do that. It will result in you getting promptly fired since the investment theses you are writing are, in most cases, highly confidential and proprietary to the firm. Superiors might be slightly annoyed at the grammar, but they will be livid if their thesis that was guaranteed to net them millions is blown up because you disseminated the idea and some other fund picked up on it before they pulled the trigger. If they ever become vocal about the grammar, just tell them you understand and are working hard to improve as quickly as possible. Remember, they hired you knowing English was a second language so you already know they're not expecting Pulitzer prize-winning language.
I'm not saying that your friend would blast your ideas to the world, but merely sending out confidential information is grounds for termination and compliance monitors all external and internal communications (and I'd imagine especially those with attachments).

Overall this doesn't seem like a big problem to me based on what you've said -- I feel you may be internalizing this as something bigger than it actually is. He's expecting a learning curve on the reports. Sending out the reports externally could turn what seems to be a non-issue into something that could be career-altering bad.
The upside of better grammar just isn't worth the downside of being involved in a compliance issue. What I think is a better solution is scheduling a time to talk with your PM and directly address with him your concerns and see if he has any input or suggestions. He seems really approachable.
Spin it by saying you want to make sure that you're doing as good of a job as possible communicating your ideas and noticed that everyone else who works there (who are native English speakers) can do it really well (don't mention that you care what they think because of your own self-confidence, instead focus on the firm). You're wondering if he or anyone else has had an issue with your writing and, even if not, what you might be able to do to continue to improve on your language skills.
Improving will certainly come with time, and it's going to be helpful you are getting constant exposure to people who write quite well. Additionally, just based on your responses here, your conversational written language seems to actually be pretty good.
